Bug#403061: xorg-docs: FTBFS if no network is available: tries to fetch DTD from oasis-open.org

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: xorg-docs
Version: 1:1.2+git20061105-2
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on i386, very likely to fail everywhere else
Usertags: grid5000

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in etch, I discovered that your package
failed to build on i386.

openjade tries to fetch the DTD from www.oasis-open.org, then fails loudly. It
would be better if your package did not fail to build when no network
connection is available.

Note: I'm filing this as serious, but I don't mind if someone consider it
non-RC.

The full build log is available from
http://blop.info/bazaar/buildlogs/20061214/

About the archive rebuilt: The rebuilt was done on about 30 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot containing an etch i386
environment (not unstable).  Internet was not accessible from the build
systems. The builds were processed as root.

About Grid'5000:
Grid'5000 is an highly reconfigurable experimental Grid platform
gathering 9 sites and featuring a total of 5000 CPUs. It serves as a
testbed for research in Grid Computing. See https://www.grid5000.fr/

It needs docbookx.xml which is in docbook.xml.  In other words, the
package is missing a Build-Dependency.  Here's the patch:
